The Texas Savings and Loan League
Records, 1929-1991, contain printed material, files, notebooks, pamphlets, artwork,
and other ephemera, which relate to savings and loans, banking, and real estate in
Texas, especially in Austin.

Founded in 1922, the Texas Savings and Loan League worked with regional savings and
loan associations and banks to develop seminars, conferences, and other enhanced
learning programs for people in the financial field. The League also hosted a Texas
Savings and Loan School, which provided two intense one-week sessions over two
summers in a university environment. Former members and officers include E.E.
Shelton, the first president; San Antonio mayor Walter W. McAllister, Sr.
(1923-1924); Walter W. McAllister, Jr. (1956-1957); Texas Senator Ashley E. Wood;
Durward Curlee; and Eric Sandberg (1989-2006). During Sandberg’s presidency, the
League changed its name to Texas Savings & Community Bankers Association and
merged in 2006 with the Texas Bankers Association.
